Plastic Issues

Last season I removed some sticker from plastic on my bike. After I got the sticker removed with a plastic scraper and a heat gun, it still left a silicon based adhesive. The only thing I found in my garage that would easily remove the adhesive was gasoline. It removed the adhesive very will, but it took the sheen right out of the paint. The question is what can I use to restore the luster in the painted pieces. Also, I am looking for a painter and a vinyl sticker maker to do some **** to my bike. Any helpers?

I'll make it short.....check the picture.

1) I can't paint for ****. 2) I can lay down vinyl, but I don't have a plotter or the software on my computer to render the vinyl.

So I would just need to have the lower half and tail painted black and I could help do the layout for the graphics.
